Almost got Whitey looking the way I want - just need some nice white wheels... http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae349/Humungous/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/CE586CEE-01F4-4738-A2B3-FBE15F8A0E95_zpsadr0p0uh.jpg http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae349/Humungous/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-12/BA9BEE0A-7877-4B...
